That's just wrong.

Oh, that one could definitely work out for them!

BUNNYMONKEY YAY! Changed your board name for this incarnation?

(Sorry, continue.)

Splinter (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)/Regina George (Mean Girls)

Best one ever!

The history of the button. Push for Free Cheese. Is it completely tragic that I find this site fascinating?

The Unsuggester

You know those annoying Amazon notices, "if you like this, you may also like [stuff]?" Well, The Unsuggester turns it around. It finds the books you are least likely to own given that you own some book. For instance, I like Elizabeth Peters' The Camelot Caper, so The Unsuggester thinks I'm very unlikely to own A Million Little Pieces by James Frey -- and it's right. I wouldn't be caught dead with a book by Frey.

Of course, there's also The Suggester. It notes that people who own Movies in Fifteen Minutes by Cleolinda Jones (link is to Amazon.uk) are also likely to own Claudia's Friend (Baby-Sitters Club) by Ann M. Martin. And the Merriam-Webster and Garfield Dictionary. Hee.

The Unsuggester is pretty damn accurate. It guessed, for example, that I don't have a copy of the Bible but I have read and enjoyed St. Augustine. And very quickly got my chick lit hate. Colour me impressed.

The Unsuggester is so not working for me. I enter See no evil by Robert Baer and get a laundry list of books I have already read (and enjoyed) or which are on my must-read list. What can I say, I'm weird.

ETA: Okay, it worked like a charm when I entered The World according to Garp.

My co-worker showed me Woophy, which I am trying my damnedest not to really search until after finals. Basically, people around the world upload their photos from around the world. I'm so fascinated with places, particularly remote ones, that I know once winter break starts I'll be spending hours here.

Hmm....I think I got the Unsuggester stuck in a loop, because the first book I suggested was The Golden Compass, which I'm reading now, and then it suggested I wouldn't like any book with "God," "religion" or "Christianity" in the title (true), but then every other book I put in (Memoirs of Geisha, The Good Earth, Wicked) it would still come up with a list of religious/Christian-themed books.

Here are some of my old favorites from SF2.0:

The Stuffed Animal Psych Ward. The cute little stuffed animals are crazy! Help cure them. Hilarious and adorable.

This is not porn. Honest, it's really not porn. It's a series of puzzles. You have to figure out the mystery of each page in order to get to the one after it. I put up an assload of spoilers on my now-abandoned blog a while ago, if anyone is interested.

The Anonymous Message/URL Server. Leave a message. See what the person before you left.

I left happy holiday greetings on the Anonymous Message Server and what do I get back?

Hot damn, the crazies are everywhere.

Oo. Kinda like PostSecret.

The message I got back was "I am having an affair". Huh.

What historical lunatic are you? Personally, I am Charles VI of France. Soon I will begin claiming my name is no longer The Lady of Shalott, but Georges. It has a ring to it.

Edit: It has "a ring" to it, not "ar ing." Duh.

I'm Charles VI too.

I should try this on some of our readers...
